1t is a matter of general regret
that so many ofthe trees in the park,
about the court house and elsewhere,
have been destroyed. Borers have
done their fatal work, and it is much
more extensive than is realized, for
it is all beneath the bark and unno-
ticeablc without examination.

julius Caesar.

In person Caesar was tall and slight.
His features were more refined than
usual in Roman faces; the forehead
was wide and high, the nose large
and thin, the lips full, the eyes dark
gray, like an eagles, the neck ex-
tremely thick and sinewy. His COM
plexion was pale, his beard and mus
tache were kept carefully shaved.
His hair was short and naturally
scanty, falling off towards the end of
his life and leaving him partially
bald. His voice, especially when he
spoke in public, was high and shrill.
His health was uniformly strong until
his last years, when he became sub
ject to epileptic fits. He was great
bather and scrupulously clean in all
his habits, abstemious in his food,
rarely touching wine. He was an
athlete in early life, admirable in all
manly exercises, and especially in
riding. From his boyhood it was
observed of him that he was the tru-
est of friends, that he avoided quar-
rels, and was most easily appeased
when offended. In manner he was
quiet and gentlemanlike, with the
natural courtesy of high breeding.
On an occasion when he was dining
somewhere the other guests found the
oil too rancid for them. Caesar took
it without remark, to spare his enter
tainer's feelings. When ona journey
through forest with his friend OPP
plus he came one nightto a hut where
there was single bed. Oppius being
unwell, Cesar gave it up to him, and
slept on the ground.

Hyacinths in Glasses---An Experience.

In the fall | set two hyacinth bulbs
in glasses, for winter blooming. One
of the bulbs was a little irregular in
shape, and the air could easily get at
the water. 1t took this one much
longer to root than it did the other,
which having been perfectly round,
fitted the top of the glass tight and
completely prevented the ingress and
egress of air. az
The latter bulb threw down roots
in a short time, almost filling the
glass. One day, however, when at
tending it, 1 noticed that the water
had bad smell. This / took out
and refilled with fresh, but after a
few days this water also became dis
agreeable. then noticed that the
roots were rotting and the top was
not growing much, while the other
bulb was as fresh and healthy look
ing as it could be, with the whole
glass full of roots. So concluded it
must be lack of air that caused the
trouble with the first one, hence l
placed bit of wood under the bulb so
that the air could have better access
to the interior of the glass.
The result has been entirely salts
factory. While the diseased roots of
that bulb rotted completely and were
rubbed off, since then it has formed a
number ofnew roots, some of which
at this writing are two inches long,
and a great many more coming out,
while the top is growing well. The
water has not been changed since,
and appears to be all right yet.
Yesterday noticed that the water
of the irregular shaped bulb was in
tainted state, and as its roots almost
filled the glass, l concluded that the
bunch of roots blocked up the OPEN
ing of the glass too close, preventing
the passage of the air. / have re-
solved hereafter to change the water
in the jars once week.

Farming Don't Pay"

Farming don't pay" says the old
fogy, as he looks through the cracks
of his crumbling house, and counts
the snowtiakes as they dance before
the wind and crowd into the crevices
which are often left open because he
was too thriftless to endeavor to save
his structure.
Farming don't pay" the farmer
who depends on the sunny side of the

1t does not pay him to attempt to

Hurry and Dispatch.

Among the many causes of poor
and inefficient work is the habit OF
hurry which takes possession of some
busy people. Having, or imagining
they have more to do in a given time
than can be done properly, they
grow confused, agitated and nervous ;
and under this pressure they proceed
with the work in hand without re-
quisite deliberation and care, per-
haps emitting parts and producing at
least an imperfect and inferior per-
formance which can neither be per-
manent nor satisfactory. There is
hardly any employment, from the
simplest manual work to the most
complex and difficult mental labor,
that does not suffer from this cause.
The dwelling house in process of
building is to be finished at certain
time. With proper forethought and
system it would have been done, but
the time approaches and the work is
still incomplete. The future occu-
pants are impatient, the contractor is
anxious, the workmen are driven.
the work is hurried through, and an.
noyance, discomfort, and sometimes
danger ensue and repairs are soon
found necessary.
The business man undertakes more
than he can manage, the days are
long enough for his needs, he is agi-
tated by the constant pressure, driv-
en- by conflicting claims, his business
suffers for the want of clear and
cool head, his health suffers from
continued and unrelaxed exertion,
his family suffers from his deteriora-
ton, and general disaster ensues.
The physician, with many other calls
to make, hurries quickly through the
visit, neglecting some important
symptom, and the patient dies; the
lawyer hurries through his plea and
loses his cases; the preacher hurries
through the preparation of his SER
mon and fails tomake an impression;
the artist hurries on his picture to
completion and his best conception
is not there; the teacher hurries
through a prescribed course of in
struction and the class is left desti-
tute of the more important elements
of knowledge. 1t is not too much
to say that a large proportion of the
unhappiness, the ignorance, the loss
of property, and even the loss of life
that is endured in the world is to be
directly traced to the hurry and drive
which characterizes so much of the
labor performed.

Carpet Sweeping.

Good Housekeeping.
There are many diverse opinions
about carpet sweeping. Some good
housekeepers maintain that to throw
any damp substance on the floor to
prevent dust rising is a mistake, also
that every window should be open
and the dust allowed to rise and be
blown out, the more wind the better.
Others, whose authority appears to
be equally good, say, and / agree
with them, that to sweep in a gale
with nothing to "lay the dust" is to
make dirty, suffocating business of
one that is otherwise not pleasant.
The fact seems to me that the dust so
raised will only be blown out 50 far
as it lies in thecou of the wind the
rest will lodge on the walls and every
part that may intercept it; and unless
there is window directly opposite
the one from which the wind
comes, there can be no blowing of the
dust out at all; it certainly will not
60 out against the wind. AS to the
idea that you need to raise the dust
from the carpet, that is quite true;
you want the dust out of the carpet.
but you do not want it to fly over the
place. Those who object to using wet
paper or tea leaves to lessen the dust
must be under the impression that
they in some way prevent the dust
from leaving the carpet, and that they
simply roll over the surface of the
carpet. The fact, is, if you sweep
with long, light stroke, the damp
leaves will prevent the flue and dust
from rising by taking it TO themselves.

WOMANS TEARS.
ROBERT o. FOWLER.

The fountain of woman's tears
Lies closer to her heart than mans.
She lives by moments, he by years;
She pities where he looks askance.
First she to act the Chairtain part,
Keener to feel for grief and pain;
Perchance it is because her heart
Is less stranger to her brain.
Howbeit-'tis womanly to weep,
And her sweet, sudden tears oft shame
Our better selves from torpid sleep
To win purer, nobler name.
Dear, tender, tear-dimmed, woman eyes!
How oftyour, tender, plying tears
Have lifted from us, garment-wise,
The pent.up bitterness of years
How oft your tears in some dark days,
Down dropping, sweet as scented thyme,
On our rough hearts, have kissed away
The stain of some intended crime

city was nuisance, and there was no
question as to the rig hit of the public
to remove it, regardless of the wishes
of the owner oImoney invested in the
institution, and then said the right to
deal the same with place where spir-
ituous liquors were sold constituted an
entirely parallel case. In the case of
the slaughter house no act of the ad
jacent owner is necessary before the
place becomes anuisance, and nothing
he could do would relieve him of its
effects. But if one is adjacent to a
saloon it will affect him only when he
voluntarily gives and contributes to-
ward making it to him an evil. Anoth-
er phase of the sophism is that the
slaughter house statement relates only
to location, whereas prohibition is
aimed at the actual existence of an in
stitution.
One more instance and we are
through. He cited the case of man
who sold tainted meat as analogous to
to the liquor trade-as though in the
tainted meat case it was not the intent
to defraud that constituted the evil
the selling of impure for pure. To our
mind it would be no crime If you ask
ed for tainted meat and received
tainted.

In a recent issue THE ADVOCATE
called attention to the wholesale
wreckage of township culverts and
county bridges by the steam thresher
engines. threshers and horse-powers.
This matter is becoming daily more
serious, and run through the county
the past week convinced the writer
that some remedial action should be
taken by our commissioners. The
traveller finds broken plank and dan
gerous holes at about half the cross
ings, and it is almost impossible for
the oyerseer to keep, his roads in
repair. The county should either
build the bridges more substantially,
or compel the threshers to use certain
in crossing the streams
and dry runs.

A few weeks ago THE ADVOCATE
censured a majority of the city council
for their action in tabling the ordi-
nance for a sidewalk on Sixth street.
We now feel that we hardly did the
matter justice. The whole council
should be lectured. At recent meet
ing of the council, in the absence of
Alderman Hull, those who claim to
have been favorable to the ordinance
might have called the matter up and
pushed it to successful issue. Under
these circumstances we feel like taking
back what was said against Aldermen
Keller, Hull and Marker, and spreading
it over the whole body. THE ADvO-
CATE wants to see plenty of walks, and
if there is property owner who feels
that he has not been properly dealt
with we would like to have him express
his grievance at this office. Of course
those who oppose certain issue are
more to blame than those who favor it.,
but when the latter contingent fail to
take advantage of an opportunity fav-
orable to their ideas, then the criticism
will apply to the whole body.

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-AS have re-
ceived few inquiries from friends at
Canton and other parts of the county,
relative to my progress in curing
the mammoth ulcer on my limb, by
your permission and admit of space I
will give short sketch concerning the
matter, which may be of interest to
your readers, viz: During the siege of
Vicksburg, while member of COM
pany l, 9th regiment, Iowa. volunteer
infantry, | was stricken with a par
alytic stroke, losing the use of my left
arm entirely and left leg nearly. Since
that time at intervals my leg has been
affected with sores Of various kinds,
such as eczema, soriasis, etc, and on
the Goth of May last the said leg broke
out with a mammoth nicer, which
reached from the knee to ankle, and
deeming it prudent to obtain the best
medical aid the country would afford l
went to Sioux Falls on the 23d of June
last, and after three months of constant
applications of various salves, ETC.,
without avail, was advised to engage
DR.. G. II. Fulford, a homeophthist of
some repute, and now after two weeks
of his famous proprietary plaster the
ulcer has been reduced One-half, and
had not obtain his services the proha-
bility is that would have been kept
under unnecessary expense for three
months more, and perhaps longer, with
a possibility of amputation. However,
1 am now improving nicely and if moth
ing serious happens l will be itemizing
